Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet
by Zanib Mian
Omar has a new house, a new school and an enormous imagination. He also has a bully to deal with, and a plan involving the whole neighbourhood.
A story about children and families, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 7–10, and at a reading age of about 8 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy

Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Planet Omar series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
